Is there documentation about what a raw partition can do which the others cannot ? libburn tries with 'c' and 'd' : fd = open(path, O_RDWR | O_NDELAY); ... ret = ioctl(fd, SCIOCIDENTIFY, &addr); and wants to see after successful ioctl(): addr.type == TYPE_SCSI >From then on, the drive is regarded as usable for SCSI transactions via ioctl(SCIOCCOMMAND). Is this too daring ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
